      The comment section seems to be 50% that dude by word count. He must be a perfectly healthy amount online.

        Yeah thats Derek allright, the man has a bit of a reputation for being argumentative and opinionated. And well with his extensive resume ( he made Battlecruiser 3000AD in 96) he has the right to speak on things, and we should be silent, listen and be in awe of the wisdom he bestows upon us. A living Prometheus, slowly back away, do not make eye contact or he will start a flamewar.

          I read it as “Derek Smalls” at first and only now I remembered he was the bassist of Spinal Tap.

                Mass Effect was really a spiritual successor in some ways I feel.
